You can get away with most stuff as modules; ***BUT NOT THE ROOT |
| 14 |
FILESYSTEM***. Think about it for a minute. Gentoo reads modules off |
| 15 |
the disk. If the code for the root filesystem is a module, Gentoo would |
| 16 |
have to read the module off the disk to enable it to read the module off |
| 17 |
the disk... OOPS. This is a classic "chicken and egg" situation. |
